GOLF: DuPlessis named D-II All-American (07/23)

The News-Enterprise LOUISVILLE — Bellarmine University’s Sarah DuPlessis and Ashley Current were just 2-of-76 NCAA Division II women’s golfers to earn “All-American Scholar” recognition from the National Golf Coaches’ Association. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent of all college athletics. The minimum cumulative grade point average is 3.50 and student-athletes must have competed in at least 66 percent of their team’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year. DuPlessis, a sophomore biology major, played the No. 1 position in all of Bellarmine’s competitive rounds during the 2007-08 season. She earned two individual championships and five top-10 finishes. A graduate of Elizabethtown High School, DuPlessis also qualified for the NCAA Division II Women’s East Regional, where she finished 21st overall. For the year, Current competed in all of Bellarmine’s competitive rounds and posted five top-10 finishes and was runner-up twice. Just a junior athletically, Current has already earned her bachelor’s degree in chemistry and will enroll in pharmacy school next year. She is a native of Louisville and a graduate of Christian Academy of Louisville.
